If you know of a fully consistent solution, please share. "Use kwin" 
isn't. Probably something needs to be done at the fd.o level. Meanwhile, 
why shouldn't KDE be pioneering?

If you don't like it, you're free to turn it off :-).

I'd still like to see KCS+kwin cooperate, but right now I see: KCS 
works, kwin does not. This doesn't exactly endear me to wanting to use kwin.

Hmm... I thought that kwin did that, but I admit I honestly don't know. 
So yes, I agree this sounds like a bug. (Disclaimer: I didn't write the 
windeco, nor am I particularly familiar with its code, or with writing 
windecos for that matter.)
